FGM-148 Javelin

The FMG-148 Javelin is an anti-tank missile system that is unlocked by the Engineer kit. It is not the same as the FIM-92 Stinger and SA-18 IGLA, because it locks on to land vehicles only; aircraft need to be laser designated in order to lock on. In addition to this, zooming in with the Javelin will pull up a display that, when pointed at a target, automatically identifies and begins to lock onto said target. The enemy will be notified when they are being locked onto and can deploy countermeasures. Both factions will be able to use this weapon. The Javelin is best used in conjunction with the SOFLAM. If the target is laser designated by a SOFLAM, the Javelin will hit the target regardless of countermeasures such as flares, because the missile is tracking a laser instead of the vehicle's heat. The same applies for aircraft. The FMG-148 Javelin was made by the United States in 1996 for Anti Infantry, Anti Tank purposes. it uses a 2-booster system. The first booster is to push the missle out of the Javelin and then the second booster propels the missle to the target.The Javelin was mainly used in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
